Mathematical model for description of dependency between weight of rapeseeds and drying time for normal convective and vacuum drying process was determined and statistically verified. From the gained drying characteristics imply that vacuum drying has higher efficiency than convective drying. © TAE 2019 - Proceeding of 7th International Conference on Trends in Agricultural Engineering 2019.
